I am not exactly sure what you mean (still in the learning process ) but if you mean the 'K' shape cross member on the chassis, No it does not have a 'K' member but has straight cross members. I think you know better what i am trying to say!Cheers Nishanth | |

The support you are referring to was there originally when i got the jeep. Ref to the pic below when i got my jeep. I just got the curved soft top support above that fabricated. I have already bought Yoko Geolander tires 31x10.5 / R15 AT-S LT and will be using on a 15x8j rim. Yes the present rear tail gate with the tire carrier will be weak for that. So i will be fixing the new type of tail gate like the one which comes on the post 2001 army vechiles and the Thar. harjeev has sent me one from Delhi. Now that the painting is about to finish i might get the current tail gate fixed as it is, get it registered and get the new type tailgate fixed after a few months. cheers Nishanth Last edited by hgnishanth : 7th February 2010 at 15:33. | |
